Oh you have no idea In the case of Malta and Jigen, loosing Malta absolutely fucking sucked for Jigen, because she was one of the few, besides Lupin to show him people could be selfless, caring without motive other then the good for the people they cared about.

Jigen loved few people, Malta loved a whole country and thought unity was the best thing for the struggling nation and she got killed for it cause other's didn't support the view.

He never truly did move on from her death. It still stung even years later.

He doesn't talk about her much. Preferring instead to keep the memories he has of her private and close-kept. Just little memories he can keep that he doesn't have to share. He tries to cope as best he can but the heart ache never goes away. And overtime Lupin too begins to learn, that "Just a life that should've been saved" has just that little extra bit of meaning behind it. . . . @loopspoop

Now I’m even more excited >:3c

here a lil tease >:3

[loopspoop]

Well, at least I can still write decently. Once I finish this fic I’ll finish up Midnight Jacket and Snowmon before starting another 🫠

Lupin definitely regretted his words, oh, he regretted them so much. The pain was back again, not that he would let on about that fact (though he was sure it was noticeable anyhow). It was painful to breathe, more than the previous night, but he couldn’t be still. He had things to do, after all. Breakfast to make for his boys.

Taking a careful breath, he flipped a pancake and checked the rice he was working on. He did owe them, after all. Pancakes and eggs for Jigen and rice and an omelette for Goemon, a first class breakfast for sure. He would have to tell them he had already eaten, too pained to join them for breakfast even if he wanted to. He would eat once it was gone, once the pain had subsided.

Hissing softly through another stab, Lupin glanced over when Jigen sleepily stumbled into the kitchen. He was always pretty slow to wake up, not that it bothered any of them much since they got to snuggle for longer on slow mornings. A sleepy gunman was particularly domestic, something Lupin couldn’t get enough of.

I'm so sorry for not posting as of late, alot of stuff and lack of motivation, and just people not seeing my art alot eneymore.

Also @loopspoop , read you lupin fan fic " this bites " and holly shoot THATS SOOOME GOOD BODY HORROR! So have some fan art :3

[thelavendercatalogue]

Your ships sound so cute! 👀 any specific headcanons you have for any of them that haven’t been mentioned yet/stuff you just want to discuss?

ummm lets see i have a few

Fujigen HC Jigen calls Fuji Kitten/Kitty in my AU but that's mostly cause of the cat burglar/long nails at his throat gimmick

I don’t think Fuji has any “pet names” for Jigen in my AU

Jigmalta HC that Jigen loved listening to her sing in the early mornings by the window. She had a soft voice Jigen liked, like the singers who accompany his classical music he listens to on the radio. He likes to hear her sing in the morning, maybe that’s why he often called her song bird when she was still alive, cause just like the sparrows and the doves, she would always wake him in the morning singing

HC for LJS that one of the things Jigen has to remember her by is her music, he bought the CD's she produced shortly after her death, and once in a while you might actually catch him listening to them when he's relaxing.

He's thrilled to find out his sister likes her music too because she has records and albums he hasn't been lucky enough to find.

They're constantly playing in the apartment when Jigen's alone. . . .

He doesn't talk about her much. Preferring instead to keep the memories he has of her private and close-kept. Just little memories he can keep that he doesn't have to share.

Those were so good? I think about Italian Jigen sometimes because that’s just a huge vibe he gives off even without his mafia background? And besides Jigen and Lupin giving each other blood, they seem like the type to have been ���blood brothers” as kids (when that was still popular because you didn’t know mixing blood could be dangerous lmao)

oh they were! fun fact

The time period that started around the time during the train accident (Lupin Zero extension) was also around the time when Jigen began to garner his reputation for being Lupin’s “right hand man”. Following the accident, Jigen became extremely protective over Lupin, as the boy's demeanor had entirely changed as well as his self-confidence with how people perceived him due to his scarring, as he was still learning on how to properly cover them up with makeup at the time.

As time went on and Lupin slowly healed from his injuries, Jigen took to protecting his blind spot, watching and guarding the side of Lupin that happened to be the side in which he was basically blind. Which turned out to be his right side.

As a result Jigen basically always stuck to his right side like a seeing eye dog. Of course as Lupin grew up and his love for robotics grew, he gathered enough skill to make a prosthetic to help him see instead of just having a false eye, but the habit of staying at his right side was something Jigen never grew out of, so as a result even in adulthood he���s always known as Lupin’s Right Hand Man.

sadly when Lupin had his "accident" in LJS his prosthetic was damaged, so

✨GUESS WHO GETS TO WEAR AN EYEPATCH AGAIN! ✨

Sad part is is Jigen knows how to fix it

if the eye was salvageable

but it was damaged to far for him to try

Lupin taught him how to fix certain things on it, but once Jigen realized it was too damaged to repair he knew he had to wait for Lupin to do it

but since Lupin cant do it

Jigen has a plan B

he kept Lupin’s glass eye

the original one he had before Lupin replaced it

he held on to it incase Lupin needed it

[thelavendercatalogue]

Goe being gone for a good bit makes a ton of sense, honestly! Another question I have that’s sorta similar to a past ask, what personal headcanons do you have for everyone in this AU (outside of the ship ones you answered before of course)

man this post would be long if I did that.

for the hell of it I’ll post Jigens since he’s the one I have the most for

He is Bisexual with a heavy but privately kept leaning towards men.

Jigen is the tallest member of the group, but is also the oldest member of it as well, though not by much, being only a few months older then Lupin.

Because of his knack for professionalism, Jigen is often designated as the "big brother" of sorts for the group, and often serves as the voice of reason for much of his partner’s impulsive actions, especially Lupin’s. Despite this however, he is often willing to be laid back enough to go along with most of his partner's schemes. 

He and Lupin’s favorite pastime is playing chess or cards with one another.

Much like most of his background, Jigen’s racial origins are often a mystery to many who know him or have heard of him. Because of this, several rumor’s in regards to his past have popped up over the years since his days in the mafia, including some about his racial origins, with the most popular being he is of Japanese descent or at least partially. This however is false, and only Lupin knows his true background.

Jigen’s actual origins despite all the fancy rumors is actually extremely simple. Despite what many may think they know, Jigen is actually an Italian-American descendant who was born in the Bronx and had originally moved to Japan whilst on the lam. It was there he adopted a Japanese identity and name. In a surprising turn of events, this information happened to actually confirm one rumor in particular that his name “Daisuke Jigen” was not his original name at all and was instead a pseudonym instead, as the word "Jigen" is often the conventional Japanese word for "dimension", and not an actual name or a word that is commonly used for one. Despite this, no one knows what his actual name once was or if he still even uses it from time to time, and he doesn’t seem to be willing to spill that information freely. In fact he seems just as content to take it to the grave with him.

His honorific El Lobo was actually coined to him by a Spanish crime family syndicate sometime after officially joining the mob full time. Originally, it was mostly given for his unparalleled hyper-lethality which made him all too famous in the underground crime world as well as his habitual habit of “looming” around in the shadows. The title has since stuck.

Jigen defer’s to Lupin a lot. If someone approaches the two of them for... well, anything really, his response will normally be, “ask Lupin, he’s the boss.” This is often because he just doesn’t like dealing with people even though he probably already knows the response Lupin would make by heart.

While he can be rather dramatic and get it in his mindset that he's not meant to 'settle down' and enjoy life, Jigen, if given the chance, can be the most easy going as well as romantic POS in the vicinity if given the chance to do so.

He was often said to have been an “extremely” awkward kid growing up. While he was not in school for long in the Bronx, during the times he was he was noted for being too silent and too tall for his age and was often regarded as being socially inept. This didn’t change much when he transferred schools and went to Japan.

He actually really despises being a leader. With certain scenarios, Jigen has no problems with just taking temporary leadership over the gang or any other group for that matter if he ultimately has too. But all in all, he’s more of a follower than a leader who refuses to rule over something for a long period of time. Despite being a follower however, he’s not afraid to speak his mind when he feels situations are getting out of hand and will outrightly question certain decisions, not out of stark disobedience, but simply out of concern.

He is the only one out of everyone lupin knows, who knows the truth about The First, and has kept the secret of his whereabouts and identity a secret for Lupin’s sake, even from the others.

While he wasn’t much of a “big time reader” growing up, his favorite book set was actually the “Arsène Lupin” books by Maurice Leblanc. This eventually lead to him being a big Arséne the first fan during his youth. Imagine his surprise when he met the Firsts actual Grandson

While he does not shy from starting loud firefights in public places, he will actively try to ignore civilians or politely tell them to flee in order to minimize innocent casualties and focus more on the target(s).

Does not handle stress well at all. Often disregarding or pushing away his feelings, he has come to develop a plethora of unhealthy coping mechanisms over the years, mainly of the alcoholic variety. Out of all of them, his most normal and healthy is when he goes down to the shooting range/open field away from civilization for hours and where he can unload magazine after magazine until his hands are numb and his ears are ringing.

He knows how to play guitar and he’s surprisingly really good at it. So good in fact that it use to be said he could probably make a career out of it. . .sadly that fell flat.

He suffers from persistent back pain/sciatica due to the same train accident that blinded and scarred his partner. However similar to Lupin, he has learned to deal with the pain in his own ways, which, while not the most conventional, actually help him a great deal.

He has/had 2 extra siblings. He has a sister, as well as had a slightly older brother just a few years older then him who had been tragically killed sometime after Jigen officially started his “work”

He’s actually the one who introduced his sister to her first husband. He regrets having done that. Though he doesn’t regret the niece and nephew he got out of it.

He is a (barely) functioning alcoholic. But thankfully he tends to be a happy drunk when he’s in a good mood, but also a brooding sad drunk when he’s not.

Is actually a school drop out. He never went back to school when middle school ended (Lupin Zero) slowly fiddling out of the school system after the train accident and Lupin’s “death” until he just gave up and started working full time, much to the sad disappointment of Isei.

Goes by many nicknames. Few include Scarecrow, jiji, Mon étoile (Lupin), Wolfie, Tallboy, Stilts, Black Shuck.

He’s not that much into makeup, but he does have a thing for black nail polish. He won’t wear it during a job though, so he has little opportunity to wear it.

He and his sister are the last of their family line. While they had a lot of family friends growing up, they didn’t have much family. This is also said to be the main cause of the rift between him and his sister due to the years of separation between the two of them, with their last interaction being the situation that happened between Jigen his sister and her ex-husband while their parents were still around. His sisters kids are considered a blessing, meaning that the idea of them having a normal family is still possible.

He has often regarded the years separated from Lupin and the first during his younger adult years as “the worst years of his life”. He regrets having left in the first place, knowing that his life would have been easier had he had just stayed with the old man, seeing as Isei had offered him a job if he wanted it when he got older and had asked him AGAIN shortly after Lupin’s “death” before Jigen had left.

Jigen and Lupin share a matching blood-type while Goemon doesn’t. It has came in handy. Knowing how dangerous and how prone accidents are to happen during jobs, Jigen and Lupin share enough blood between one another that Goemon has taken to calling them “blood-bonded” which isn’t that far off the bat considering how close the two are actually and have been getting over the years. As a side note as Lupin is usually the one taking the brunt end of all the shit that goes on (either by his own fault or someone else’s) it's usually  Jigen who ends up on the giving end. 

Jigen is incredibly head shy- he doesn't like people touching his head/face unless it's absolutely necessary. But it's not just because of the hat, he just uses that as an excuse. It’s mainly because due to him being a gunman he’s extremely protective about his eye’s. Even the permanent loss of one eye can drastically screw with his depth perception and when your entire life is based around looking down the scope of a gun it’s no laughing matter. So far only lupin has been allowed to touch his head intimately or otherwise because he has the most trust in lupin. Because of this large bond of trust, forehead presses or face touching tend to be drastic indicators of how close the pair are to one another, since it seems only Lupin can get away with doing it. If it's not Lupin, expect Jigen to be tending to his own head-wounds by himself.

[loopspoop]

Guess who got wise and made an AO3 account? It was me! >:3 Midnight Jacket and Snowmon are both there in their current entireties, so go and check them out (Snowmon even has a new chapter!)

[loopspoop]

Final chapter! :3 what horrors will I unleash on the others in the rest of this series? It only gets worse from here!

“Alright, Pops, here we go.” Lupin carefully placed the needle into the inspectors arm, injecting the antidote carefully.

“You’re sure this will work?” Fujiko watched from over his shoulder, face skeptical.

“Of course it’ll work, have some faith in me will ya?” Lupin huffed, stepping away from the inspector before glancing at the door.

The sun was coming up soon and he was ready for this nightmare to be over. All they had to do was give Jigen the antidote and wait for him to change back to normal. He wanted his gunman back more than he had wanted anything before. He really hoped he had gotten the antidote right. Sighing, Lupin turned to Goemon.

“You ready?” The thief held out a thrown together blow dart to the samurai carefully.

“I am.” Goemon nodded, placing the dart into a tube he had fashioned.

[loopspoop]
